Back To Belize - Cave's Branch






Since our honeymoon last year to Belize was abbreviated and we had some credit down there, we really wanted to give it another shot. Luckily the stars aligned, and we were fortunate enough to make it happen, and on the anniversary of our first honeymoon, we headed South, leaving the clouds and cold of Vermont behind for a while.

The first stop on our journey was Ian Anderson's Cave Branch. Deep in the heart of the jungle, the resort is one of the oldest 'eco' lodges in Belize, and pioneers of exploring the various cave systems and formal guide training. The grounds are amazing, and you are blended right into the surrounding jungle and all its critters. They offer an extensive list of 'adventures' you can choose from, ranging from caving trips, to horseback riding or sightseeing the Mayan ruins in Tikal, Guatemala.

We ended up in one of their Treehouses -- complete with a deck overlooking the jungle, private outdoor shower, and all the amenities one could possibly need.

The photos here show Ash enjoying a bottle of champaign at the main lodge with swim-up swimming pool, us in the waterfall cave tour, Ash climbing a waterfall, our treehouse, and Tikal.
